The second story was my favorite of the three and the last one surprised me with the ending. The first story made me annoyed with the main character as intended - I was rooting for the woman who left him. Keegan wrote unlikable (1st story mc) and morally gray characters (3rd story mc) in a way that didn’t make me feel like I had to dock rating points.
All the stories were different but I enjoyed the way Keegan sets the mood of her stories.
I’m excited to read her other works. Like this story collection, they’re short - but if they’re anything like this one, the length won’t matter because they’ll still be packed with detailed imagery and engaging storytelling.
Minor: Sexual content
